BIDEN AGENDA SIGNALS EPA’S PRIORITY GHG FOCUS ON VEHICLES EPA’s unified agenda of upcoming regulatory actions offers new details on agency timelines for prioritizing light-duty vehicle standards and oil and gas sector methane controls in its initial greenhouse gas regulations, while appearing to confirm GHG rules for power plants are proceeding on a slower regulatory track.

EPA PLANS TO EXTEND PBT RULES’ DEADLINES BY SEPTEMBER EPA’s newly unveiled regulatory agenda says it will set new compliance deadlines for some or all of its five TSCA rules governing persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic (PBT) chemicals in September, just as a “no-action” order averting what industry says would be devastating impacts from enforcing one of the rules is set to expire. BIDEN OFFICIALS FLOAT DETAILS ON ‘WHOLE-OF-GOVERNMENT The Biden administration’s first semiannual regulatory agenda is providing new details on its “whole-of-government” approach to climate change, including efforts that go beyond traditional emission controls to boost renewable energy, improve efficiencies, mandate climate risk disclosures and develop advanced nuclear reactors.

EPA VOWS TO LIST 1-BP AS HAP IN 2021, WITH IMMEDIATE EPA is pledging to add the industrial solvent 1-bromopropane (1-BP) to the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) regulated under the Clean Air Act this year, the first such addition to the list, with several industry sectors facing immediate compliance obligations as officials launch a data push to determine the scope of any regulatoryimplications.
MORNING BRIEF: INTERIOR EYES OFFSHORE WIND DEVELOPMENT IN Interior Department (DOI) officials are planning to gauge developers’ interest in deploying offshore wind power facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, adding to the Biden administration’s prior push for a huge build-out along the East Coast and off the Californiacoast.
EPA’S PLANS TO OVERHAUL TSCA ASSESSMENTS RENEW DEBATE ON The Biden EPA’s announcement that it intends to reconsider Trump-era assumptions on workers’ use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in at least two TSCA chemical evaluations is restarting debate on how the toxics program should address worker safety -- a thorny question since the law gives officials little direction on that subject. EWIRE: API ISSUES NEW WELL-PLUGGING STANDARD The American Petroleum Institute (API) has issued a new standard to guide the industry’s voluntary efforts to plug and remediate natural gas and oil wells, a measure aimed at limiting releases of environmental pollutants as the Biden administration and lawmakers weigh funding for such efforts as part of a pending infrastructurepackage.

ENVIRONMENTALISTS’ CRITICISM OF STATE HAZE PLANS SIGNALS Environmentalists are criticizing Southeastern states’ air planning efforts to cut emissions and improve visibility under the regional haze program, signaling a broader fight between conservation groups, states and EPA over the stringency of forthcoming state plans weeks before they are required to submit their plans to the agency. PFAS FOES SEEK FOOD-PACKAGING BAN FROM FDA A coalition of environmental and public-health groups is petitioning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in “food contact substances” (FCSs) like packaging -- which would be the first federal ban on any use of perfluorinated chemicals, and supersede a push for state-levelpackaging bans.
EWIRE: EPA FINDS POLYMET MINE ‘MAY AFFECT’ DOWNSTREAM Responding to a first-time court ruling, EPA has determined that a controversial planned metals mine in Minnesota “may affect” the water quality in Wisconsin, opening the door for downstream jurisdictions to request a public hearing from the Army Corps of Engineers on impacts that should be considered in a Corps-issued dredge-and-fill permit. OMB CLEARS EPA PLAN DELAYING LCR DEADLINES The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has completed its review of a final EPA rule to delay key deadlines in the Trump-era revisions to the lead and copper drinking water rule (LCR), likely giving the agency more time to continue its discussions with stakeholders on how to make additional changes to the requirements.

The U.S. Court of EPA MAINTAINS STRICT POLICY ON ILLEGAL VEHICLE EMISSIONS EPA in a new legal filing is maintaining a strict policy that says companies selling equipment for modifying street-legal vehicles’ emissions controls systems are violating the Clean Air Act, arguing that producers of such “defeat devices” cannot justify their actions by claiming their parts will be used for off-road racing only.INSIDEEPA.COM

D.C. CIRCUIT VACATES TRUMP CLIMATE RULES ON LANDFILLS, GHG Tweet. A federal appellate court has vacated two Trump EPA climate change policies that significantly delayed implementation of methane rules for landfills and effectively barred greenhouse gas limits for a host of industrial sectors, opening the door for Biden officials to replace the policies with more-aggressive measures. The U.S. Court of EPA MAINTAINS STRICT POLICY ON ILLEGAL VEHICLE EMISSIONS EPA in a new legal filing is maintaining a strict policy that says companies selling equipment for modifying street-legal vehicles’ emissions controls systems are violating the Clean Air Act, arguing that producers of such “defeat devices” cannot justify their actions by claiming their parts will be used for off-road racing only.INSIDEEPA.COM

JUDGE APPROVES ASBESTOS CDR SETTLEMENT WITH DECEMBER 2022 A federal judge has approved EPA’s settlement with environmentalists and states that sued over its refusal to add asbestos to the chemical data reporting (CDR) program, giving it until December of 2022 to take final action on a rule that would require industry to report asbestos use, imports and processing to the agency. WHITE HOUSE CLEARS PROPOSED PFAS REPORTING RULE The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB)’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs has concluded its review of EPA’s proposed TSCA reporting and recordkeeping rule for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), clearing the way for the agency to publish its legally mandated proposal. EPA EYES PROPOSING PFAS MCLGS THIS YEAR, WEIGHING EXPOSURE EPA is telling states that it expects to propose health-based drinking water goals, known as maximum contaminant level goals (MCLGs), for the two most studied per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and submit them to its Science Advisory Board (SAB) for review sometime this year, sources say, the first in a series of steps the agency must take before it can regulate the substances. EPA AGREES TO 18-MONTH DEADLINE FOR TSCA ASBESTOS EPA is proposing a court settlement that would give it 18 months to propose and finalize a rule adding asbestos to the Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) program, a victory for environmentalists who sought to force the agency to quickly set new mandates for gathering data on the material that can be used in ongoing evaluation and regulation underTSCA.
BIDEN DOJ SEEKS TO QUASH STATES’ SUIT TARGETING CARBON The Biden administration is urging a federal court to dismiss litigation from a dozen Republican state attorneys general (AGs) challenging its interim climate change damage estimates that help justify emission-reduction policies, arguing that the officials lack standing to bring suit. EPA’S PLANS TO OVERHAUL TSCA ASSESSMENTS RENEW DEBATE ON The Biden EPA’s announcement that it intends to reconsider Trump-era assumptions on workers’ use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in at least two TSCA chemical evaluations is restarting debate on how the toxics program should address worker safety -- a thorny question since the law gives officials little direction on that subject. PFAS FOES SEEK FOOD-PACKAGING BAN FROM FDA A coalition of environmental and public-health groups is petitioning the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in “food contact substances” (FCSs) like packaging -- which would be the first federal ban on any use of perfluorinated chemicals, and supersede a push for state-levelpackaging bans.

EPA AIR CHIEF EYES RFS CREDIT FOR EVS EPA’s acting air chief Joe Goffman says the agency is actively considering granting renewable fuel standard (RFS) credit for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, confirming earlier reports that officials may at last be nearing issuance of credits for renewable or alternative electricity used for transportation.
